Halloween is fast approaching, and people are starting to choose their costumes. There are some costumes that are more popular than others this year. Here are the most popular Halloween costumes of 2023 according to Google: 10-bunnies, 9-ninjas, 8-cowboys, 7-dinosaurs, 6-Wednesday Addams, 5-Fairy, 4-Witch, 3-Spider-Man, 2-Princess and the number 1 costume for this year is, not surprisingly, Barbie.
All these costumes are great! Some may have more obvious reasons for being popular. However, people may have no idea why some of these choices are popular this year! Let’s take a look at why all these costumes made the top 10 costume list of 2023.
#10 Bunny.
The idea of a bunny costume is popular for two reasons: some people may just want to be cozy and look cute. Others may add a spooky appearance to their bunny costumes. Whatever the reason, there are sure to be lots of bunnies hopping around for candy on Halloween.
#9 Ninja.
Seeing Ninja on this list may not surprise people as it has been a popular Halloween option for years and even though google notes that it’s on a “downward trend” being a Ninja for Halloween is still very popular.
#8 Cowboy
People like to debate about things all the time. And one “playground” debate is cowboys VS ninjas. Not just for Halloween costumes, but in general. Google also considers cowboys to be one of the highest professions. This costume also happens to come with a lot of accessories.
#7 Dinosaur
Dinosaurs have been a big part of pop culture for years, so it’s really no surprise to see that people want to dress up as them for Halloween this year. They are currently trending upward, so they will probably make this list again next year.
#6 Wednesday Addams
“The Addams Family” is definitely associated with Halloween and it’s no different this year, especially for the character “Wednesday”. The costume has grown in popularity due to the Netflix show “Wednesday”, and it is a spooky way to bring in some nostalgia for an old-made-new-again show.
#5 Fairy
If you want a magical Halloween, fairy is the way to go! It’s pretty, it’s fun, and it’s number 5 on the list!
#4 witch
There is nothing more Iconic than a witch for Halloween. Whether you don’t know what to be and just fall back on being a witch or you carefully planned it out, it’s a great costume. It is a Halloween costume everyone recognizes and you can be cute or scary.
#3 Spider-Man
Spider-Man is a fan favorite for Marvel fans, so it’s no surprise to see the super hero on this list! Go with a friend and have them be Venom or Doc Octopus!
#2 princess
Whether it’s Disney princess or other princess from another popular movie, princesses are definitely popular in 2023. Maybe it is the beautiful gown, the crown, the hair or the make-up, but who doesn’t love to look beautiful?
#1 Barbie
This should come as no surprise to most people. In July 2023, the Barbie movie took the world by storm! And now Mattel’s most popular doll is also taking over the spooky season! I personally would probably dress up as Barbie or possibly a Taylor Swift era. Whether you want to spend this Halloween dressed up or not, these costumes are great options for you and your friends!
